Invasive Plant Removal (Large Blackberry Berms)

REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS

SPECIFICATIONS OF GOODS AND SCOPE OF SERVICES

The Contractor shall furnish all necessary labour, materials, supplies, and transportation necessary to meet contract requirements and remove large areas (estimated to be >10m2) of Himalayan blackberry. The removal of plants will be done by hand using non-motorized or motorized hand tools.

The Services include the manual removal of Himalayan blackberry by pulling or digging out the entire plant. This is sometimes done in combination with using motorized hand tools such as brush-saws to cut down taller plants first and then pulling the entire plant out of the ground including its roots.

On each visit the Contractor is responsible for the removal and disposal of plant litter debris to be disposed of off-site in an acceptable manner. The City will provide dump sites for vegetation cuttings off-site.

The list of sites requiring work will be provided by the City and will vary in size (estimated to be >10m2), terrain, site conditions, etc. Sites may have limited access and may require traversing through vegetation over uneven terrain for significant distances to access.
